The SLV specific rule changes include:
Creation of a Smoke Sensitive Area for the San Lorenzo Valley
Currently, Rule 438 describes a Monterey Peninsula/Carmel Valley Smoke Sensitive Area (SSA). The Rule 438 revisions create a new SSA for SLV. Figure 1 shows the SLV SSA boundary that was based on the County of Santa Cruz general plan map for SLV (map reference: Santa Cruz County GIS staff, numbered 180-07, dated November 2007). The SLV SSA excludes areas within the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District.
Burning Limits based on Property Size
The Rule modifications further restrict backyard burning in the SLV to parcels larger than one acre, except in areas where yard waste pick-up is not available. A waiver from the parcel size requirement for the SLV SSA can be granted at the discretion of the District following a site inspection.
Number of permitted burns per burn day
The Rule modifications limit open burning within the SLV SSA to two per day per fire district, for a total not to exceed 10 permitted backyard burns per day. As stated above, the SLV SSA excludes areas within the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District so the daily permit restriction does not apply to areas under the jurisdiction of the Scotts Valley Fire Protection District.
